When I say "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean living".
I'm whispering "I was lost",
Now I'm found and forgiven.
When I say "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need CHRIST to be my guide.
When I say "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
and need HIS strength to carry on.
When I say "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
and need God to clean my mess.
When I say "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
but, God believes I am worth it.
When I say "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain,
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.
When I say "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
who received God's good grace, somehow.

When I say I'm a Christian
God does not call the qualified, He qualifies the called.
God, Grant us the peace that comes from honest dealings so that no fear of discovery will haunt our sleep May we inflict no pain, bring no shame, and seek no profit by another's loss.

That is pretty crazy awesome! Totally true too! I don't want people to think I'm bragging or saying I'm better than them when I say "I'm a Christian!"
I want to portray all that stuff that poem said... lost and forgiven, messy and God is cleaning me up!
